Trees and Shrubs, Bonsai

Seed experiences double dormancy: chip and sow, leave at 70F/21C for 3 months, then chill 3 months 70F/21C, and grow warm again. Refrigerate again if no germination in 3 months. Or sow outside, allowing several seasons to sprout, best in cold frame. Just cover, light needed to germinate. Well-draining soil, consistent moisture until established, good light, though some shade may be tolerated. Protect from strong winds or scorching sun
